Crystal Palace frontman Jean-Philippe Mateta continues to go from strength to strength for the Eagles, adding to his goal return with a sensational early strike against Brighton.
The 27-year-old French striker, who recently recovered from a horror collision with Millwall goalkeeper Liam Roberts, still knows where the goal is after he rifled into the top corner past Seagulls shot-stopper Bart Verbruggen.
With that, the former Mainz 05 standout now has nine goals in the Premier League since the turn of the year, staggeringly, needing only ten matches to achieve that rate of return.
